Finally got around to watch the last few episodes-was fun getting caught up in the thread here knowing what was going to happen and what the likely reaction would be.
Have to say that while I was surprised that Sophia was in the barn, and happy that part of the show is finally over, I'm hoping that Herschel and his group did not know she was in there-that Otis brought her in before any one knew who she was and didn't tell anybody before his untimely death. Because seeing the mother grieving like that-you'd have to have a heart of stone to just not tell her at some point-or if Herschel really wanted them gone to have her "found" near the farm so Rick's group could deal with her then be on their way.
I can't see this group surviving very long if Shane is going to be the new leader-he's so far gone off the moral and sanity deep end that he'll likely now have no qualms killing people who disagree/try to rebel against his orders. Starting with Dale probably. It's likely a bloody ending for him coming sooner rather than later. I have to say I was really rooting for Dale to kill him in the swamp or at the barn at the end there.
I liked that Carol was finally coming to grips with her daughter's likely death instead of constantly grieving-her scenes with Darryl were nice I thought-now though she'll likely be back to constant grieving.
The last scene was great of course for its surprise moments and horror at what happened, but the part I liked the most actually was Glenn looking over at farmer's daughter and asking her if it was okay if he joined the firing line.
It's a shame that monetary concerns are keeping the show from reaching the heights it could. I think the show works best when they are on the move, finding out more about this new world they are in, while under the near constant threat of the zombies. I'm glad they got to flesh out the characters a bit, but its time to amp up the tension part of the show again.
